Print Story An Emmerdale actor who has admitted attacking another teenager has been dropped from the soap, ITV has confirmed.

Last month, Luke Tittensor, 19, who plays teenage tearaway Daz Eden on the show, pleaded guilty to inflicting grievous bodily harm on the 16-year-old boy.

The victim was left with a fractured jaw after the incident in Rochdale, Lancs, on February 15 last year.

Bolton Crown Court heard that the boy was left "badly injured" and required surgery following the attack.

An ITV spokeswoman said: "As Luke has pleaded guilty to the serious charge of GBH and we cannot condone criminal behaviour, we have met with Luke and his agent to explain that his contract with Emmerdale will be terminated.

"Luke regrets his behaviour and understands this situation."

Tittensor has been in the show since he was 13-years-old and has also appeared in the Channel 4 hit Shameless, in which he shared the role of Carl Gallagher with his twin brother Elliot.

Last month a judge heard Tittensor's victim was in the street waiting for a taxi when an item was thrown at him from the car Tittensor was travelling in.

The actor is later thought to have got out of the car and attacked the boy who was in hospital for three days.

The actor is due to be sentenced on April 29.
